A coffee filter of mass 1.8kgdropped from a height of 4mreaches the ground with a speed of 0.8m/s. How much kinetic energyKairdid the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter? Start from the Energy principle, and choose as the system the coffee filter, the Earth and the air.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The loss of kinetic energy is obtained as 69.984×10-3Jand the energy is transferred in air molecules.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Mass of coffee filterm=1.8g , heighth=4m , speedv=0.8m/s .

02

Definition of Internal Energy

The potential energy is given by:

U=mgh

Here denotes mass. Theis acceleration due to gravity that is given by9.8m/s2,h stands for height.

The kinetic energy is given by:

k=12mv2

Here,is mass of the object andis the velocity of the object.

03

Calculation of speed which hits the ground

The mass of coffee filter is m=1.8g.

Convert the unit of mass into kg.

m=1.8g10-3kg1g=1.8×10-3kg

Thus, out of all, the observers in situation may feel that Newton’s first law has been violated.

Substitute , m=1.8×10-3kg,g=9.8m/s2andh=4minto the formula of potential energy.

role="math" localid="1657795625494" U=1.8×10-3kg9.8m/s24m=70.56×10-3J

Therefore, the potential energy is 70.56×10-3J.

04

Calculation of Kinetic Energy

Substitutem=1.8×10-3kgandv=0.8m/s andinto the formula of kinetic energy.

k=121.8×10-3kg0.8m/s2=0.576×10-3J

Therefore, the kinetic energy is 0.576×10-3J.

05

Calculation of Loss of Energy

The loss of energy is given by ∆E=PE-KE.

Subtract the obtained kinetic energy from the obtained potential energy to obtain the amount of energy loss.

∆E=PE-KE=70.56×10-3J-0.576×10-3J=69.984×10-3J

The loss of energy is said to be transferred in the air molecules.

Therefore, loss of kinetic energy is69.984×10-3J and energy is transferred in air molecules.

A man sits with his back against the back of a chair, and he pushes a block of mass m=2kgstraight forward on a table in front of him, with a constant force F=30 N, moving the block a distance D=0.3 m. The block starts from rest and slides on a low-friction surface. (a) How much work does the man do on the block? (b) What is the final kinetic energy K of the block? (c) What is the final speed V of the block? (d) How much time ∇tdoes this process take? (e) Consider the system of the man plus the block: how much work does the chair do on the man? (f) What is the internal energy of the man?

Now suppose that the man is sitting on a train that is moving in a straight line with speed V=15m/s, and you are standing on the ground as the train goes by, moving to your right. From your perspective (that is, in your reference frame), answer the following questions: (g) What is the initial speed localid="1657950350828" viof the block? (h) What is the final speedvfof the block? (i) What is the initial kinetic energy of the block? (j) What is the final kinetic energykfof the block? (k) What is the change in kinetic energy∇K=Kf-Ki, how does this compare with the change in kinetic energy in the man’s reference frame? (l) How far does the block move∇x? (m) How much work does the man do on the block, and how does this compare with the work done by the man in his reference frame and with ∇Kin your frame? (n) How far does the chair move? (o) Consider the system of the man plus the block: how much work does the chair do on the man, and how does this compare with the work done by the chair in the man’s reference frame? (p) What is the internal energy change of the man, and how does this compare with the internal energy change in his reference frame?

Question: A relaxed spring of lengthstands vertically on the floor; its stiffness is. You release a block of mass from rest, with the bottom of the blockabove the floor and straight above the spring. How long is the spring when the block comes momentarily to rest on the compressed spring?

Niagara Falls is about 50m high. What is the temperature rise in kelvins of the water from just before to just after it hits the rocks at the bottom of the falls, assuming negligible air resistance during the fall and that the water doesn't rebound but just splats onto the rock? It is helpful (but not essential) to consider a 1g drop of water.

Describe a situation in which it would be appropriate to neglect the effects of air resistance.

180 g of boiling water (temperature 100 0C, heat capacity 4.2 J/K/g) are poured into an aluminum pan whose mass is 1050 g and initial temperature 26 0C(the heat capacity of aluminum is 0.9 J/K/g).

(a) After a short time, what is the temperature of the water?

(b) What simplifying assumptions did you have to make? (1) The thermal energy of the water doesn't change. (2) Thermal energy of the aluminum doesn't change. (3) Energy transfer between the system (water plus pan) and the surroundings was negligible during this time. (4) The heat capacities for both water and aluminum hardly change with temperature in this temperature range.

(c) Next you place the pan on a hot electric stove. While the stove is heating the pan, you use a beater to stir the water, doing 29541 J of work and the temperature of the water and pan increases to 86.9 0C. How much energy transfer due to a temperature difference was there from the stove into the system consisting of the water plus the pan?
